Subject: Does the gc avoid collecting arrays of ints
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 19:35:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9d3ec8300707231035i5a218c16lb1bb1c11cac23e6d@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Looking at ocaml's source code I see that the values representing
arrays have a tag representing the type of their content (I'm guessing
boxed/unboxed). Does this mean that a bidimensional array containing
ints will only be explored in one direction during garbage collection?
If so, how do the compare to Bigarray's (I'm guessing they still are
slower).
